Advanced Twitter Tools – TweetMiner

NOTE: TweetMiner has changed to Pluggio – It is really the same product with some improvements.

I just found TweetMiner today. It is quite a handy twitter tool. Why is it so handy? It does what many of us do manually on a daily basis. Combines the power of our RSS feed reader and twitter. TweetMiner makes it super easy to browse your RSS Feed and share the good stuff with your twitter friends.

The interface is quick and clean. It also allows you to schedule some tweets for the future. I know, many don’t get the idea behind scheduling tweets yet. Especially since so many spammers are using it improperly. But if you use it right, scheduling tweets is very powerful.

Watch the video for a quick demonstration of the power of TweetMiner.

TweetMiner can help you with content discovery by searching and watching keyword streams and integrating RSS feeds into your twitter interface. TweetMiner can help you schedule tweets on a regular basis or at a point in time. Do you have 10 friends that have birthdays coming up? Schedule a tweet today so you don’t forget to tweet them Happy Birthday in the future.

TweetMiner has many other features. Just check out the home page and watch a few of the excellent demonstration videos. In a matter of seconds, you can sign up. In a matter of minutes you will feel at ease in the simple interface.
